Porsche 959 Raid Grey

The Hobby Slot Racing Porsche 959 Raid Grey: Craftsmanship for Collecting

The Porsche 959 is one of the most fascinating prototypes in the history of off-road motorsport. Its participation in the Paris-Dakar Rally in the mid-80s left an indelible mark, combining cutting-edge technology — all-wheel drive, variable geometry turbocharger — with an instantly recognisable body. This Raid Grey version, under the reference HSR-2213, captures that spirit of adventure in slot scale.

Features and Highlights

• Handcrafted assembly: each unit is crafted by the preparers at Hobby Slot Racing, with an attention to detail that sets this product apart from mass production.
• Calibrated materials: the assembly is built using components that ensure consistent performance from the very first metre of track.
• 3D chassis: structure manufactured using 3D printing, allowing for precise geometry and an excellent starting point for both recreational use and competitive preparation.
• MSC display case presentation: the model arrives protected and ready for display or track use, in the characteristic MSC display case that has become a reference in the industry.

Scale and Level of Detail

The body reproduces the characteristic silhouette of the 959 in its raid configuration, with the grey finish that identifies it in the toughest desert stages. The craftsmanship of Hobby Slot Racing translates into a careful fit of all the elements that make up the car, avoiding the play or inaccuracies typical of large-scale industrial assemblies.

Track Performance

The 3D chassis provides a rigid and well-proportioned base, ready to receive adjustments if the driver wants to fine-tune the weight distribution or guide height. The calibrated materials used to assemble each unit reduce the necessary interventions before the first session, allowing the car to run reliably straight from the display case.

Ideal for…

• Collectors looking for unique pieces, away from mass series.
• Slot enthusiasts wanting a car with history and a solid technical starting point.
• Clubs and drivers who appreciate handcrafted assembly as a guarantee of consistency.
• Lovers of the Paris-Dakar Rally and the Porsche 959 as an icon of off-road competition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 3D chassis ready to run or does it require prior adjustments?

Is it possible to replace components of the 3D chassis with standard market spare parts?

It depends on the specific design of the chassis. As it is manufactured using 3D printing, some parts may be unique to this model. Please consult us if you need information on compatibility with spare parts from other brands.

Is this model intended more for collection or for competition?

Its handcrafted assembly and presentation in a display case make it particularly attractive for collectors, but the calibrated materials and 3D chassis also give it an interesting competitive profile for recreational and club use.
